Improved Simians

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Sir Clough Williams-Ellis , aged 94, the architect and creator of Portmeirion, and Amabel, his wife aged 83, author and critic, talk to HALLAM TENNYSON about the beliefs that have shaped their remarkable partnership and about the many famous people they have known.
I regard Homo Sapiens not as a set of miserable sinners, nor as fallen angels but as improved simians - that is to say, apes and monkeys and those enchanting creatures, - bush-babies. (AMABEL WILLIAMS-ELLIS)
